Chief Rabbi of Israel Rabbi Dovid Lau Shlita penned a letter to rabbonim around the country regarding this coming Shabbos, Parshas Vayikra, Shabbos Rosh Chodesh Nissan, which the Rabbinate is dedicating to kashrus and the Chief Rabbinate’s kashrus system.

The rav acknowledges there are many problems, but cites today, there is a battle being waged against “all that is holy”, and that is what Shabbos is dedicated to.

After the launch of Tzohar Rabbonim’s kashrus organization, the Chief Rabbinate is responding, adding there are elements who today are challenging this system are using enormous resources against the Chief Rabbinate, with the latter acting in line with the system established by HaGaon HaRav Kook ZT”L.
